The Library and Knowledge Service is due to be refurbished between the 17th and 24th of February inclusive. The Service will be closed between these dates, and no items will be due back during the weeks beginning 15th February and 22nd February.

Note that you can borrow extra items during this time, which will help the move as it means fewer items of stock will need to be stored and moved.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Lynda Cotterill, Library Services Manager on 01625 663923 or lynda.cotterill@nhs.net.

The Library and Knowledge Service has been selling its old book stock for 20p each previously, to make room for newer and more up to date stock. During the Christmas period, these books will be available for free to anyone interested!

The books are on bays next to the fiction collection – please ask a member of library staff if you’re unsure, or have any questions.

Please note that the Library and Knowledge Service will not be staffed over this Bank Holiday weekend. You are still welcome to use the books, computers, self-service machine and other resources Saturday to Monday, using your staff badge to swipe into the building out of hours, but there will be no members of staff available for enquiries.

We will be available once again from 8.30am on Tuesday 1st September. We hope you have a good Bank Holiday!

We’d like to welcome 25 new people to East Cheshire who attended Corporate Induction yesterday, many of whom registered with the library. This included 5 new international nurses.

The Library and Knowledge Service is free and available to all of you to use: you can borrow books, use computers, ask for help with finding information for work, do e-learning, ask for training, or just come up and talk to us over a cup of coffee! If you haven’t already registered with us, you can do so any time you’re free!

The annual survey for the Library and Knowledge Service is now open – if you want to take part follow this link and complete as much as you can. It should take no more than ten minutes, and would help to provide us with information that we can use to improve library services.

Remember, we can only do this through your help: your feedback guides our service!

The Library and Knowledge Service is pleased to announce that the self-service kiosk is now available. A short ceremony was held where the first book was officially borrowed using the machine. Why not join us in the library where you can learn how to use the kiosk and borrow some books at the same time?

The Six Book Challenge is ending on the 29th of June – make sure you’ve read your six before that date. Hand your completed forms in at the Library and Knowledge Service for the chance to win a £10 book token!

The self-service terminal has now been installed in the Library and Knowledge Service, but further configuration is needed before it can be used. Staff appreciate your continued patience while we sort out minor issues.

Macclesfield’s Library and Knowledge Service has taken delivery of a new self-service machine. Once it is installed in about two weeks, library users will be able to use it to borrow, return and renew books, pay fines and check their accounts.

Why not contact the library for more information? Email ecn-tr.stafflibrary@nhs.net or phone 01625 661362, or drop in to see the machine for yourself!

The Staff Library is currently pruning its shelves to make space for new titles across all specialities. We have a large number of books in good condition that we are offering for sale to all staff. Each book costs 20 pence per title on a first-come first-served basis.

The sale is taking place Monday-Friday from 9.00 a.m. to 4.30p.m. until all the old stock has been sold. Money raised from the sale of books will be spent on new stock.

You are welcome to come and browse and buy – if you come over to see us at lunchtime, please feel free to browse and bring your lunch with you, we offer free tea and coffee all day to library users. Please contact any member of the Library team if you would like further information on extensions 3923; 1705;1547; or 3398. We look forward to seeing you in the Staff Library, 2nd floor, New Alderley House.

Library staff will be in the Staff Restaurant on THURSDAY 1 May from 12.30 – 1:30pm. If you have any queries about Athens, searching for evidence or just want to know how to go about joining, then please don’t be shy!
